Hello everyone! I really like works on a black background, but unfortunately I rarely do them. When I received a new collection of the Zodiac chipboard, it immediately prompted me to do the work on a black background. The girl in the photo is fond of astrology, so this photo here is also not accidental.

Hello crafty friends! Today I will show you a background option for an art page using Lindy's Magicals and Squirts. Magicals are a special product, they have more options for use than a spray. I will work with scrapbook paper, it also produces interesting backgrounds because it already has its own color.
Before starting work, I covered a sheet of paper with a clear gesso. For a greater variety of textures, I glued on a couple of pieces of collage paper with clear gesso.
I chose three bright colors of Magical powders - yellow, red and green, so that the contrast could be better seen Yellow Rose of Texas, Rudolph's Nose Red and Frosty Forest Green. I mixed the powders with modeling paste.
And then I put the paste through the stencil. I'm trying to create color transitions one to another. That's why I chose such bright shades so that you can understand and see better.
Here is the result:
Next, I proceed to staining. Here I tried to create chaos from similar shades, but using other types of colors. The first color is the lightest magical shaker - Yodeling Yellow. I diluted the Magical with water on the palette and put on almost the entire surface where I applied the paste.
I thoroughly dried this layer with hot air.
Next, add the green color. I chose - Squirt Emerald Eh ?!. I also dried the layer completely.
And the last one added was red - Squirt - Oh Canada Crimson.
After I dried the background, I decided to sprinkle it with white gesso, which I diluted with water.
I also used these two colors for coloring the chipboard. I primed a poppy flower and painted it.
Then I added some layers and decorations. The result is such an art page:

Hello creative friends! Today I want to show you the process of dyeing simple bobbins for storing your favorite lace and ribbons. I cut a few patterns from thick cardboard and glued together in two. Then carefully primed with white gesso and you can see bobbins ready for coloring already in the photo.For a start, I will create a small texture. For this, I use crackle paste.I will paint in two ways and different shades to show you more options. I paint the first three big bobbins with sprays:

Now you need to carefully work with sandpaper. So we have a scuff effect. And tint the same spray. Also grind and big bobbins. I apply some prints with stamps and waterproof ink. And once again I grind.To fix the color I cover soft matte gel.In the last step, I am tinting with a semi-dry brush with white gesso all the bobbins.

So I got such an aged effect:This is how I will use ready made bobbins:
